2022 Elena Walch Pinot Bianco Alto Adige DOC

VARIETY
100% Pinot Bianco
VINIFICATION
After harvest, the grapes are carefully crushed and pressed. The fresh must is
statically clarified at low temperatures and then gently fermented at a controlled
temperature of 20°C in stainless steel tanks. The young wine matures in stainless
steel tanks for several months on the fine lees.
TASTING NOTES
Our Pinot Bianco presents itself in clear, bright straw yellow, with fruity aromas,
fresh apple notes and a touch of herbs in the bouquet. In the mouth, the wine
surprises with elegant, mineral depth, lively acidity and a fresh finish.
TERROIR
Steep vineyards on light limestone and porphyric soils. An interplay of cool
altitudes up to 900m above sea level, as well as warmer locations at mid-altitude
around the 250m. Handpicked with the utmost care.

VINTAGE 2022
An excellent vintage 2022 is awaiting you! As a result of the warm, stable summer, grapes of the very best health and with balanced values have reached our cellar. The 2022 wine year began with a warm spring, which led to an early start of flowering. The succeeding summer was consistently dry and warm-to-hot by the midsummer. The drought did not cause any problems, not at least thanks to our irrigation systems and smart technology. The warm summer months have resulted in extraordinarily healthy grapes of very
good quality and maturity. The acidity values were somewhat lower due to the vintage, but well balanced and were supported by targeted foliage work during the summer months, and a slightly earlier harvest. The first grapes were harvested at the end of August - as always entirely by hand. Overall, the wines show complexity, great structure and very good fruit.
FOOD PAIRING
An extremely versatile wine for many occasions, delicious as an aperitif or accompaniment for light starters as well as full-bodied first courses, white meat or poultry dishes.
